Chapter 435: 219 Grandfather (First Night Watch)_3
The parcel in Marquis Gu’s hand fell to the ground with a thud; it was the present he had prepared for the Yao Family.
“Dad Dad Dad Dad…when did you get back?”
He was so nervous he started to stutter.
The Marquis Senior shot Marquis Gu a piercing glance: “Shouldn’t you be at the Yamen at this hour?”
There was no morning assembly today, but the Yamen hadn’t taken the day off.
Marquis Gu’s cold sweat was pouring out layer upon layer: “I… am going there now.”
Marquis Senior glanced at the jewelry scattered on the ground: “Just taking these things along?”
Marquis Gu instantly went from stuttering to mute.
Why was his luck so bad? The first time he played hooky, he was busted by his own father…
On his way back to the capital, Marquis Senior had heard a basketful of rumors about his residence, and he was fuming. Marquis Gu being caught at this particular moment was practically like courting death.
Marquis Gu stepped back and raised his arm to shield his face: “I just recovered!”
Marquis Gu had already married and set up his own household, Marquis Senior usually didn’t smack him, unless he couldn’t help himself.
“Ah–”
“Ah ah–”
“Ah ah ah–”
Fifteen minutes later, a mournful scream was heard from Marquis Gu’s courtyard.
Not far away, Huang Zhong covered his face helplessly: “….”
Sigh. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Couldn’t bear to watch this anymore.
Gu Changqing, from the military camp, received the news of their grandfather’s return to the residence, and he returned home right away.
Meanwhile, Gu Chengfeng of Qinghe Academy also heard the houseboy’s report: “What? My grandfather is back?”
The houseboy stammered: “Yes, Young Master, after you finish school, please don’t run around, remember to take Third Young Master back home!”
Take Gu Chenglin home? This could be difficult.
Xiao Jingkong: “Okay.”
Xiao Jingkong ran out and fetched a razor usually used for shaving patients’ legs, then started to shave Gu Chenglin’s head.
He shaved from left to right, and when the left side was done, Gu Chengfeng arrived.
Seeing this scene, Gu Chengfeng was furious: “What on earth are you two doing?!”
Xiao Jingkong turned to Gu Chengfeng, with an innocent look on his face: “I’m shaving his head. He wants to be a monk.”
Gu Chengfeng: “…!!”
How old are you to be shaving heads? And look at the two of you, one brazen enough to have his head shaved, and the other bold enough to do it!
Gu Chengfeng spoke sadly and helplessly: “Our grandfather is back, you must return home immediately!”
Gu Chenglin put his hands together in a buddhist greeting: “I’ve joined the monastery and am no longer a young master of this residence, nor do I recognize the grandfather you speak of, worldly matters have nothing to do with me… can my hair still grow back? Boo hoo~”
With half of his head shaved and long hair on the other side, Gu Chenglin returned to the Marquis residence.
Seeing Gu Chenglin’s unspeakable new look, even the usually unflappable Marquis Senior spat out a mouthful of his tea!
